Dear mom to be,
If you’ve been told to consider donor egg, it’s okay if your first feeling wasn’t certainty. Just know that love isn’t defined by biology, and that the child you’re working so hard for will be yours in every way that matters. What carried me through wasn’t just the process, but the people around me. My family. My medical team. And a support system that took the time to explain, never rushed me, and made sure I didn’t feel alone at any step. If I could offer one piece of advice, it would be this: trust that things can work out, even if the path looks different than you imagined. And don’t give up. I didn’t. I became a mom at 53.
